One of our AATSA's (Adler Art Therapy Student Association) leadership board members spent a month working with an organization out in Jinja, Uganda and introduced AATSA to the organization and a way to get involved. We will be hosting a "shoe cutting party" to support the mission of Sole Hope.

Sole Hope works to create preventative methods to combat diseases that enter through the feet and to create a positive difference in in the lives of individuals in impoverished communities. Particularly they work to remove jiggers in children's feet than are sand fleas that burrow under the skin and create infection, disease, and immobility. Sole Hope holds clinics to remove jiggers and clean the feet of the villagers, as well as educate the communities about washing and their own ability to remove jiggers safely.

They spray down the houses, and they are now creating sustainable jobs for women in the villages to make shoes for the children to wear. In America and countries outside of Africa, supporters are encouraged to participate in Sole Hope Shoe Cutting Parties in which you get together to cut up pre-stenciled pieces in jeans, fabric and plastic milk cartons that create the pieces to make a shoe. We will be cutting out pieces of fabric and old jeans to make packets that will be directly distributed to women in Jinja. The women transform and craft these individual packets into into shoes for the children in the community.

Attendees are encouraged to bring one/any of the following: Old Pair of Blue Jeans, Quilting fabric, Milk Jugs.
